South Korea's Attempted Rocket Launches

If you are not aware of it, today was to be the third attempt by South Korea to launch a rocket that would place a satellite into orbit.  The first two attempts were unsuccessful.

Unfortunately, as the news reported, just 17 minutes before launch, a problem was detected and the launch phase was stopped.

South Korea has been working with Russia to develop this space program.  As it is costly it is doubly unfortunate that the launch did not succeed.
